Abstract
In hydrodynamics, Taylor's frozen-in hypothesis connects the wavenumber spectrum to the frequency spectrum of a time series measured in real space. In this paper, we generalize Taylor's hypothesis to magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We analytically derive one-point two-time correlation functions for Els\"{a}sser variables whose Fourier transform yields the corresponding frequency spectra, . We show that in Kolmogorov-like model, and in Iroshnikov-Kraichnan model, where are the mean velocity and mean magnetic fields respectively.
